Press Release

Following the news of the Federal Reserve’s intention to raise interest rates this week, FreedomWorks CEO Adam Brandon commented:

“For months now, investors have been watching the Federal Reserve with the intensity of a NASCAR fan watching the Daytona 500. Some are watching for the crashes, others to see who wins, but in the end, we all lose. Markets, not by central planners, should determine interest rates. This historically weak recovery is part of the price Americans have paid for the Fed’s easy money policies.”

FreedomWorks aims to educate, build, and mobilize the largest network of activists advocating the principles of smaller government, lower taxes, free markets, personal liberty and the rule of law.

On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and urge them to cosponsor the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, S. 148, if they haven’t already done so. Introduced by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the Federal Reserve Transparency Act would require a full audit of the Federal Reserve by the Government Accountability Office.

On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and urge them to cosponsor the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, H.R. 24, if he or she hasn’t already done so. Introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), the Federal Reserve Transparency Act would require a full audit of the Federal Reserve by the Government Accountability Office.

President Trump is upset with the…let’s call them, 'happenings' at the Fed. While his opinions on interest rates have changed over the past two years, his opinion of their infamous lack of oversight has remained constant since he endorsed the idea on his 2016 campaign.

On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and urge them to cosponsor the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, S. 16, introduced by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.). This important piece of legislation would require a full audit of the Federal Reserve by the Government Accountability Office. FreedomWorks has already released a letter of support for the House version of the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, H.R. 24, introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.).

On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and urge him or her to cosponsor the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2017, H.R. 24, introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.). The Federal Reserve Transparency Act, which already boasts 44 cosponsors, would require a full audit of the Federal Reserve by the Government Accountability Office.

Last month's proposed rule on Incentive-Based Pay, the "London-Whale Sized Regulation," is open for comment until July 22. This proposal carries large implications for financial sector operations and also represents a overall trend in Dodd-Frank regulations.

Ahead of a vote on the Federal Reserve Transparency Act (H.R. 24), introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), in the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, FreedomWorks CEO Adam Brandon commented:

On January 12, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act (S. 2232) is scheduled for a vote in the Senate. Authorizing review by the Governmental Accountability Office of our nation’s monetary policy, the bill was introduced by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.). But the bill’s final vote is arguably due to the legacy of the Senator’s father, former Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.), who championed the causes of sound money and central bank transparency over his 12-term career in Congress. Dr. Paul is the subject of this week’s Profiles in Liberty.
